Bill Moore
Candidate for Orange County Sheriff
TOP PRIORITIES
There are many issues facing Orange County but reforming operational and administrative functions at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office are critical right now. Leveraging technology will bring about efficiency in serving our residents and tourists. Listed below are some of the issues that are impacting the lives of our families and friends at the present time. It’s time for action and prevention. Communicating condolences to family members who lost a loved one to a violent crime means absolutely nothing when no meaningful action has taken place to prevent the crime.
Community Engagement Using Technology

- Implement an interactive dashboard for academic researchers to query Orange County crime data and create reports for academic use
- Provide media outlets the capability of generating reports using a web-based platform capable of parsing data from Computer Aided Dispatch and Crime Analysis databases, thereby eliminating the need for public records requests for records for certain data
